Parents always make a great case for not having children. Then I say "ok I won't" and they always backtrack :'(

It's a personal decision. I'm happy I have them, but it's very hard work. There really is a lot of emotional payoff through watching them grow up and helping shape them as human beings. Totally understand those that aren't able to or willing to put up with the downsides though.

So lucky. I have a job and I can't afford to buy things.
